.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 235 PM CDT SAT AUG 9 2014

A VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERE IS IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON. H850 MB DEW POINTS ARE RUNNING IN THE 15C TO 17C RANGE
WITH PWATS 1.25 TO 1.50 INCHES. INSTABILITY IS INCREASING THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH SURFACE BASED CAPE VALUES NOW APPROACHING 3500 J/KG
ACROSS THE SANDHILLS INTO SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. THE FLOW ALOFT IS
RELATIVELY WEAK...WITH THE MERRIMAN PROFILER INDICATING WEST TO
SOUTHWEST WINDS RIGHT AROUND 25 KTS FROM 4KM TO 10KM.

ASCENT WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON IN ASSOCIATION
WITH THE WYOMING SHORTWAVE...AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL RESULT.
STORMS SHOULD FOCUS ALONG A SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS FAR WESTERN
NEBRASKA...BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS AS THEY TRACK TOWARD SOUTHWEST AND
CENTRAL NEBRASKA THIS EVENING. DUE TO THE RATHER WEAK FLOW ALOFT AM
NOT ANTICIPATING WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS...BUT SOME STORM
ORGANIZATION AND AT LEAST ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE.
HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE DUE TO THE HIGH AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE
IN THE ATMOSPHERE.

A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT WITH NORTH WINDS
EXPECTED SUNDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE FRONT WILL NOT BE MUCH
COOLER THAN TODAY...BUT SOME COOLER AIR ALOFT WILL BE CROSSING THE
AREA AND MAY RESULT IN A FEW SHOWERS OR WEAK
THUNDERSTORMS.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 235 PM CDT SAT AUG 9 2014

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

TO EAST WINDS DEVELOPING. FLOW WILL BE NORTHWEST ALOFT AND A DRY
FORECAST...ALTHOUGH CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS

REGION.

ON MONDAY NIGHT...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER CENTRAL AND
EASTERN NEBRASKA. THIS WILL BRING COOLER LOWS IN THE MID AND UPPER
50S. BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE INCREASE NORTH ALONG THE CENTRAL HIGH
PLAINS TO BRING TO POTENTIAL FOR STRATUS AND/OR FOG TO WESTERN
AREAS. WILL NOT INCLUDE IN GRIDS ATTM. FOR TUESDAY...TEMPERATURES

PNHDL AS H85 TEMPS RISE TO 28-30C. ACROSS WRN NEBR HIGHS NEAR 80
EAST TO NEAR 90 FAR WESTERN ZONES.

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...

TO BEGIN THIS PERIOD...AN UPPER TROUGH WILL EXTEND ALONG THE COAST
OF BRITISH COLUMBIA SOUTH ALONG THE WEST COAST AS AN UPPER RIDGE
EXTENDS OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS.  WHILE A FEW ELEVATED THUNDERSTORM
MIGHT DEVELOP TUESDAY NIGHT AS A WARM FRONT ALOFT LIFTS NORTHEAST
AND LOW LIL JET DEVELOPS...MODELS NO LONGER SUPPORTIVE TO CONTINUE
MENTION. THE UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS WEDNESDAY
BRINGING WARMER TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 90S ACROSS THE WESTERN
ZONES. MEANWHILE AN UPPER TROUGH WILL EXTEND FROM HUDSON BAY INTO
THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND NEW ENGLAND.

A RIDGE RUNNER MCS(S) WILL LIKELY OCCUR WEDNESDAY NIGHT ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE DAKOTAS AND NEBRASKA. THE 12Z GFS HAS THE STRONGEST
SIGNAL FOR THIS TO OCCUR IN NEBRASKA FOLLOWED BY THE GEM. THE UPPER
RIDGE TO FLATTEN OUT THURSDAY..FOLLOWED BY AN UPPER TROUGH MOVING
